Don't know if they'll use the same technique, as they do up here, but you'll need to do some exploring first anyway. A few years back, there was a big kick for building the old time "Timber Frame" homes up in Vermont / New Hampshire and then it took off here in CT.; so naturally we had to do some inquiriing, in all area's to see what was what. After many, many months of searching and talking with many builders in that field, I came to the conclusion that the cost's can run from; $105 to $145 per SF, based in part on what is needed. If this is a typical "Barn Raising" style, a good bit of the cost is put forth in the "man power" to put it together. SPent some time with a firend of mine up in Vermont some years back and watched a few sections get raised, truly an interesting concept. When you consider these puppies may be around for 150 to 300 years, it's really a good investment and money well spent.
Do the do and gather as much info as you can; save it and it will always become a useful part of your "Expertise" in the field.
Enjoy - it's a wonderful experience and you'll meet some great folk - we got to meet one of the last great "Barn Raisers" in New England.
